Good point. I've seen some of the contracts people have signed for their car. Yep, dealers are making money selling cars.

As an auditor with Ford Motor Credit I've seen the dealer cost and floor plan charges and everything else that results in a profit margin that would send most dealerships tits up within six months if not for their service department income. I've also seen more than a few go bankrupt even with a busy service department. You're more likely to succeed in the restaurant business than the car business unless you engage in some shady practices. I've seen plenty of that too.

I was quoted $2080 front/ back plus brake fluid today from an Indy with oem parts. BMW quoted me $2400. I’d gladly pay $1700.
